No celebration of America should be without a nod to America's Greatest Ever Live Rock Band - The Grateful Dead. My suggestion? Jack Straw (from Europe '72). Lyrics:

 

Leaving Texas, 4th day of July

Sun so hot, the clouds are low

The eagles fill the sky

Lawn Dart by Ed's Redeeming Qualities

 

It was the third of July and the weather was fine

Ed brought the hot dogs, the croquet set was mine

But the red ball was missing and three mallets were bent

Ed suggested lawn darts so to K-Mart we went

 

We looked by the yard games, we looked by the grills

But we couldn't find lawn darts come high water or hills

We talked to the sales clerk and she started to cry

She said "They're off the shelves now," and she told us both why:

 

A kid was pegged in the head with a lawn dart

Her dad didn't see 'er, that's the worst part;

A kid was pegged in the head with a lawn dart

So they're now off the shelves at the K-Mart

 

Well we both felt so bad that we gave up the search

Ed went to bed, and I went to church

And now we never grill hot dogs, and we don't play yard games

Since we heard that sad story things just aren't the same

 

Pegged in the head with a lawn dart (lawn dart!)

Her dad didn't see 'er, that's the worst part;

Pegged in the head with a lawn dart

So they're now off the shelves at the K-Mart.

4th of July --- X

 

Or you can go straight to the writer of the song....Dave Alvin on two albums, Romeo's Escape or King of California.

 

This may be the best song about 4th of July ever. It never fails to bring a tear to my eye. (How could I have forgotten to mention this one?)

Agree...but I like the John and Exene interplay.
